On electricity to train all those deep neural networks.
This might be a dumb question, but why not use the classification accuracy score as a measure of uncertainty?

Makes sense though, they don't want a repeat of the LTCM crisis.

It ultimately depends on how much of the car's action is driven by DNNs, a miss-classification in the CNN can easily lead to a car crashing on a highway and causing a pileup. DNNs are so complex, you can't really write unit tests like you typically do for deterministic code.

That's why some of the big banks flat out refuse to implement any form of deep learning for risk analytics. They're much more reliant on simpler ML models like random forests and logistic regression that are easier to analyse and diagnose by model governance teams.

Well considering that most of the autopilot software is driven by black box deep neural networks, I don't think hiring someone with a strong coding background is going to make that much of a difference when it comes to safety.

Re:Foxconn replaces '60,000 factory workers with robots' on Wednesday May 25, 2016 @12:51PM (#11771177)
No we don't, I am not anti-progress but my personal opinion is that increased automation will lead to further inequality and potentially economic contraction. Thing is, we are not born equal, different people have different skills, we can't be expecting everyone to become an engineer or a scientist. Blue collar workers losing their jobs will not lead to interesting times...
Have you tried tuning Spark's memory parameters?
I have been extensively using the dateframe/sql API and I just love it. Most of the issues I have had stemmed from the cluster / Spark configuration and not the API itself. Using SQL is so much more intuitive them using multiple joins, selects, filter etc on an rdd.

Well consumers won't be able to buy their $30 jeans if they're produced locally... This problem is just as much about consumers wanting lower prices as it is about corporations wanting to make more money.

> The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an increase of $50 billion to the Company’s program to return capital to shareholders. Under the expanded program, Apple plans to spend a cumulative total of $250 billion of cash by the end of March 2018.

My god, that $50 billion expansion is 7% of the company at the current market cap.
